Hello, my 3rd statement cut was about a week ago. Is it safe to ask for APR reduction and maybe a soft CLI? I PIF before the statement cut and I have $0 balance and my TU FICO score is 702, was 706 when I was approved. I do have a few accounts opened in the last 3 months though . Is Barclay sensitive to new accounts? Should I ask now or wait another 3 months? Thank you.
If you request a CLI while logged into your account it's a HP. And no, Barclays doesn't like new accounts after their approval. In my experience Barclays is pretty good at auto CLIs on newer accounts. I'd wait at least another 3 months and see if they don't give you an auto CLI.

Thank you for the information. I thought anyone had luck with SP CLI or APR reduction after their 3rd statement cut.

Too new for Barclay if it's your first card with them AND you have other new accounts.

- You're welcome. Yeah, there have been several threads about calling in and asking for the retention deepartment and asking for an APR reduction and asking fpr & getting a SP CLI - but not at 3 months. I'd say at least a year for that. I was considering that for my Rewards MC which I've had since April 2012 and hasn't had an auto CLI for a couple of years. But they just gave me an auto CLI of $1k on my NFL card that I opened in May 2015. And that's why I say Barclays is good with auto CLIs on newer accounts - the first couple years of my Rewards MC I got it raised from $1500 SL to $5700, all auto CLIs. And the NFL card I got primary to do a 15 month 0% BT I used to pay off a Prosper loan. I had it up to 65% util and paid it down to 24% with a $1k payment in Dec, and they responded with the auto CLI.
Great info. Thank you for sharing
